1. Introduction to Uniswap

• What is Uniswap?
  • A decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Ethereum.
  • Allows users to trade ERC-20 tokens directly without intermediaries.
• Key feature: Automated Market Maker (AMM) instead of traditional order books.
• Why it matters: Decentralization, permissionless trading, liquidity provision.

2. How Uniswap Works

• Automated Market Maker (AMM)
  • Uses liquidity pools instead of buyers and sellers matching.
  • Prices are determined algorithmically using the x * y = k formula.
• Liquidity Pools
  • Users (liquidity providers) deposit pairs of tokens into pools.
  • They earn fees from trades proportional to their contribution.
• Swaps
  • Users can swap one token for another instantly.
  • Prices adjust automatically based on supply and demand.

3. Key Features of Uniswap

• Permissionless Trading – Anyone can list a token without approval.
• Liquidity Provision – Earn fees by contributing to pools.
• Decentralization – No central authority controls trades or funds.
• Uniswap Governance (UNI Token)
  • Holders vote on protocol changes, upgrades, and fee structures.
• Version Updates
  • v1 → v2 → v3: Each version improved efficiency, reduced fees, and added features like concentrated liquidity in v3.

• Full control over funds (non-custodial).
• High transparency; open-source code.

5. Risks and Considerations

• Impermanent Loss – When token price changes cause a temporary loss for liquidity providers.
